Le Boizelo failed to cope with a big weight at Wincanton after scoring at Sandown but should be thereabouts in this under his regular 5lb claimer. Samburu Shujaa almost certainly has more to offer over fences and Ben Jones claims 5lb off him as well. Notachance was a staying-on fifth here last month after winning at Exeter while Django Django had excuses when pulled up at Aintree in October and has been plenty of time to recover. Scotchtown should strip fitter for his reappearance while Reallyradical has been knocking on the door but INDY FIVE (NAP) was rallying when falling at the last in the Mandarin here last month and dropping back a couple of furlongs won’t harm his cause.
